EmpirBus™ Connect 50v v2, 12V, 8/20, CAN, LIN, LED/Touch
Pickup available at Mercury Yacht Harbour
Usually ready in 2-4 days
Description
The EmpirBus Connect 50 v2 packs the inputs, outputs and intelligence of a digital switching system into a single compact DC module. It connects directly to 12 V DC power on M6 bolts and controls and monitors a mix of input and output channels, driving loads with positive, half-bridge and window-wiper modes and per-channel software fusing.
Inputs can be configured as digital or analogue, reading switches, sensors and frequency signals, and on-unit LED indication and touch control allow channels to be read and overridden directly, including manual override and fuse reset. This is the non-isolated 12 V variant of the Connect 50 family, communicating through galvanically isolated CAN and RS485 interfaces; unlike the standard models it is not NMEA 2000 compliant, so it is intended for installations built around the EmpirBus CAN network. Up to six Connect 50 units can share a single network.
